Does European integration contribute to, or even accelerate, the
erosion of intra-party democracy? This book analyses the impact of
European Union (EU) membership on power dynamics, focusing on the
British Labour Party, the French Socialist Party (PS), and the
German Social Democratic Party (SPD). Utilising a principal-agent
framework, it investigates who within the parties determines EU
policies and selects EU specialists. Drawing on original interviews
with EU experts from Labour, the PS, the SPD and the Party of
European Socialists (PES), as well as an e-mail questionnaire, this
book reveals that European policy has remained in the hands of the
party leadership. The study also suggests that the party grassroots
are interested in the EU, but that interest rarely translates into
influence. As regards the selection of EU specialists, this book
highlights that the parties' processes are highly political, often
informal, and in some cases, undemocratic. -- .
